NEC is establishing a “Regional Retail Business Support Center” (RBSC) in May 2013 as part of strengthening its solutions for local retail business and implementing NEC’s global business strategy.
Until recently NEC’s retail business was largely focused on providing solutions for leading retailers in Japan. NEC provides comprehensive solutions including in-store POS systems, back office systems for stores and convenient mobile terminal systems such as barcode readers for checking inventory and ordering.
The RBSC will help formulate regional strategy and support sales, technological issues and human resource development. The RBSC will also work in cooperation with NEC’s Southeast Asian affiliates, including those inMalaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, in order to expand NEC’s services throughout a wide range of retail businesses, such as convenience stores and drug stores, and provide solutions that are customized for local needs.
Furthermore, NEC is launching a Global Training Curriculum (GTC) in order to continue reinforcing the operational and technological strength of the RBSC and each regional affiliate’s retail business solutions. The GTC is focused on training sales teams, system engineers, maintenance staff and others in order to effectively approach new customers, manage sales channels and implement new systems with retail stores and head offices.
